The Rotary Club of Chula Vista respectfully requests matching funds of $1,000 for the literacy grant in support of the Tijuana, Mexico Library Project. Tijuana, Mexico Library Project The Rotary Club of Chula Vista's International Projects Committee will provide books and educational resources for a library serving a disproportionate share of underprivileged children in Tijuana, Mexico. The Club will provide up to 100 children's books selected by the library to be available to children in the equivalent of grades K-3, attending schools serving low-income students. Beyond books the Chula Vista Rotary Club will also purchase additional educational resources. This program has been very well-received by Rotarians in Tijuana and by Tijuana community leaders. In 2013, at the Ignacio Zaragoza Library in Tijuana, Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Tijuana met volunteers from the Chula Vista Rotary Club. We delivered the books and resources to a very appreciative group. Last year, with the help of the District's Matching Grant Program, the Chula Vista Rotary Club was able to purchase 183 children's books.
